    We enjoyed everything about our dinner from the cocktails to the focaccia the entrées and the dessert. I had the hot and unbothered lemon cello margarita. It was absolutely delicious. As was the focaccia dripping in lemon butter and cheese. My Bronzino was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. The desserts were enormous, which had we known we would’ve ordered one. I thought the lemon tart (really a giant slice of lemon meringue pie) was fabulous. Our server was excellent and attentive. All of the staff was.
